I finally managed to finish my Christmas shopping yesterday, thanks to some hidden gems in Braddon, Canberra. Check out the following stores, that bring a bit of funk and designery goodness to Canberra.
The Hive Gallery
This is an old favourite of mine. It features a tiny gallery space and lots of hand crafted goodness. On my visit there yesterday, I even spotted some jewellery pieces from Polli. There is an interesting range of books, porcelain pieces, handmade cards, and other independent art works.

Unit Concepts
Unit Concepts is surprisingly large, with a huge range of homewares, designer furniture, novelties and other types of design icon pieces. Personal favourites are the range of Pantone items, inspired by the Pantone Colour charts. There is also some children items, bags and clothes.
